New post format?

[TheCrazyClucker]

When I went to post something, the format of where you write what you're going to post is different. It's sort of annoying :/
Is it just my computer or is everyone's post--blurb (don't know what to call it...) like that? Is it possible to change it back to the original format? Thanks.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. Here are some things to do to possibly resolve your problem:

1. Try resetting your computer. Turn it off, wait 2 minutes, turn it back on.
2. Clear your internet browser's cache / history of files. It's easy to do and almost as important as taking out the trash at home! See instructions here and here.
3. Determine if the problem is because of your browser and/or plugins and extensions. Download a free version of either Google Chrome or Firefox and see if the thing that was broken now works.
4. If you're still having problems, continue to the steps below:

If after following those steps, here are a few questions that will help us find, duplicate, and hopefully resolve the problem you are having. Go through these questions and reply with all the details of your problem:

• Describe your problem in as much detail as possible!
• What is the URL of the page that you had problems?
• Did you receive any error messages? If yes, what were they? (please copy and paste the entire message, screenshots are best)
• What were the exact steps you took before having the problem? Please be as specific as possible so we can reproduce exactly what you did. Go step by step, provide links, details, clicks, etc.
• How long has the problem been happening? When did it start? If only one time, what day and time did it happen?
• VERY IMPORTANT: Which browser and version are you using (eg., Firefox 3.5.9, Internet Explorer 7, etc.)
• Have you tried disabling all your browser plugins and/or extensions? (Some of these conflict with website features and tools)
• Have you deleted your internet cache / browser history of files and tried again?
• VERY IMPORTANT: Have you tried a different browser (we suggest Google Chrome or Firefox)?

Instead of coming up like this when I quote someones post:

It says this right above the thing you type the posts in:

The rich text editor is not compatible with your browser. You may see some HTML source displayed. Any BBCode you enter will be converted to HTML when you save.

The smiley-things are at the right hand side of the thing you put your posts in, not right above like it used to be.

I'm not really sure what a URL means...

And another thing: When I put a smiley thing in the post-blurb, instead of this: , this happens: idunno

My computer did an update yesterday. When I went on the computer after the update was done, the new post format happened, like I described.

It started yesterday, around 3:00 to 5:00. I'm not really sure on the hour, but I know it was between that.

We use Mozilla Firefox.

No, I didn't.

Not that I know of.

No, it's just Mozilla Firefox as usual. We switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox about a year ago, though.

Thanks for your help!
